You may have better success grounding the vehicle instead. The next time you see a fuel truck or propane tanker, take a note at the braided wire that continously drags the ground at or near the rear axle. This wire attaches to the frame and continously grounds the vehicle. This prevents the spark that can cause an explosion. These devices can be home made or purchased at some auto parts stores. It will need to be replaced over time as the friction of the ground will wear it away.

Why does the person in the top floor will get less amount of water than the person in the ground floor when their taps are opened at the same time?

The person on the top floor will receive less water because they are against the force of gravity, which creates less pressure in the pipes. As water is pulled downwards, the pressure decreases with height. This results in a lower flow rate for the person on the top floor compared to the person on the ground floor.


Why can't a person hold a lightning bolt?

A person cannot hold a lightning bolt because it has extremely high electrical voltage and current, which can cause serious injury or death. Lightning seeks the path of least resistance to the ground, and if a person were to try to hold a lightning bolt, it would travel through their body to reach the ground, resulting in electrocution.


How does a faraday suit protect someone working on electric power lines?

A Faraday suit is made of conductive materials that help to dissipate the electrical charge around the person wearing it. This prevents electric shock and injury by directing the electrical current away from the person's body and towards the ground. The suit acts as a barrier that blocks the flow of electricity through the person wearing it, providing a protective layer against high voltage.


How will the background radiation a person receives change when they fly in a jet?

When flying in a jet, a person will receive higher levels of cosmic radiation due to being at higher altitudes where the Earth's atmosphere provides less shielding. As a result, the person will be exposed to increased levels of background radiation compared to being on the ground. However, the increase is typically small and not considered a significant health risk for occasional flying.


When a person jumps from a tree to the ground what happens to the momentum of the person upon landing on the ground?

The momentum of the person is transferred to the ground upon landing. Initially, the person has momentum due to their motion in the air, and upon landing, this momentum is imparted to the ground as the person comes to a stop.

How does a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protect you from electrical hazards?

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects you from electrical hazards by quickly shutting off power to the circuit if it detects a ground fault, which is when electricity flows through an unintended path, such as water or a person. This helps prevent electric shocks and fires.


A person driving a car that accidentally comes into contact with a electrical mains cable but doesnt get shocked if someone else touches the car though they get shocked why?

Because the person outside the car is grounded, which means that the electrical current running through the car uses the easiest path to the ground, aka the person outside the car.


How do a person die due to electric shock?

You cannot die from the normal shock that you get when you rub the floor and then touch a light switch, etc. The amount of electrical current that is sent through your body is harmless and will do no permanent damage to you or your organs. The shock you have to worry about is the one you would receive from getting struck by lightning.
